what settings should i be running??

so far

hotwire sensor/In 4 out 4 /correction in1 out 1

lo + hi =o all the way (is this right to have the car running at standard tunning?)

throttle signal =arrow up

what am i missing ??

Make sure your ECU is securely bolted. Obviously make sure all your wires are correct.... when your car is off can you see if when you push the throttle you can see the reading?...

This all looks fine with me. Obvious thing also make sure its 6 cyl.

When the car is off A/F shoudln't read anything.

So i think its faulty ,Also one more question in the manual it refers to a ''spliting harness'' which i dont have.Ive got just the harness

hooked up are

red=ig power

blk=Ground

white=a/f signal input

ylw=a/f signal output

brown=ground(before blk)

Gray=throttle signal

green=rpm switch

not hooked up are

blue

pink (i think??)

orange

i was thinking maybe these wires need to be joined to afm signal or something ??

I dun really think you need a harness, its just to make it easier like plug n play hardware on your computer... if you know which wire to tap into, no need for harness.

Just peel of the skin on the correct wire, connect your SAFC wire end, secure it with a few twist if you're desperate but best result is solder it permanently, then finally wrap it with some insulation tape.

Have just installed mine into a R33, those colors u have are correct, works fine this end, spose you need to check the connections to the ecu. Mine did not start first time du to the harness plug on the Afc becomong dislodged during routing of it into the car. the spare wires are just left open, do not short together. You did read the ecu plug from the wire side??

stupid ***n apexi shit!!!Well its stuffed and apexi said that can not fix any faulty safc and that they have to be replaced,And cause mine is second hand no warranty!!

well i fixed them up keep this quite:bahaha:

I bought a new safc yesterday

carefully opened the box

unscrewed the safc

and took out all the internals ,and put them into my 1

then put my broken safc internals in the new safc :D

Returned it ,got a refund,free repair

Works now so it was stuffed

but the case is a bit yuk cause sumhow the safc has been rubbed off??that just proved that it had a hard life,but now its got a new heart.lol :(

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
